Liking and following

If you 'like' us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter we will not automatically follow or like you in return.

We will sometimes follow or like people or organisations that provide information that is relevant to our work, and will also try to lend our support to local and national campaigns that are relevant or connected to our services.

We may also need to like or follow an account in order to take part in conversations; just because we like or follow someone, it does not mean that we necessarily endorse them.
